The image says all.



Guests (bots) don't need to read forum topics/forums (see squad forums for regular users), but they should be able to see that there are more sub-forums with "life".

I thought we had opened it up in the past, and we ended up with some very entertaining viagra threads from spambots as a result. In fact, Fuzz only just recently changed his avatar from the Cialis doc to his new fangled one...

My memory of how exactly that happened is kinda hazy now...

Spambots/hackers such for something like this:

So it doesn't matter if it's open or not. ;)

Even better would be if forum accounts and ASGS/ACSS accounts were integrated together (so you would make one account for both), but that would require a bit of messing around with the forum software at minimum.
